Non-Stop Action at 38 Grace Road in West Medford!

It's Sunday.  I drive up to 38 Grace Road around 11:55 to get my open house paraphernalia ready to set up what I hope to be a great day for my clients' open house.  As I exit my car, I see a very nice couple eagerly waiting for the festivities to begin.  "Not bad" I said to myself ... "Having someone 'waiting' to get into an open house is a great sign, let's hope for more".  I kindly asked the couple if they didn't mind waiting just a few minutes while I set up, and walked into the house.

I set up my 'gear' and the open house starts promptly at noon.  The couple walks in and begins their excursion of the home.  They appear very interested and within five minutes, I begin to see a steady flow of buyers entering and exiting the house. A half hour, an hour, hour and half ... non stop!  "Very interesting" I thought to myself.  For a moment I felt as if I had taken a ride in Marty McFly's DeLorean and gone back to an open house from 2005!!  

The response was fantastic and the genuine interest in the house was what I hoped it would be.  A great property, in a great neighborhood ... at the right price.

Well, my open house was supposed to be from 12:00 to 2:00p and I walked out that door at 3:35p!  A three and a half hour open house!!  I was very excited for my clients.  Just as I hopped into my car and approached the intersection of Grace and Saltonstall Road (literally 5 seconds from the house) my phone began ringing off the hook (hey, we have cell phones now, that doesn't make sense anymore!!) 

As I answered one call after another requesting second showings and inquiries as to when the offers would be presented ... I smiled wholeheartedly.  First mission accomplished.

38 Grace Road in Brooks Estate is on the Market!

If anyone is in the neighborhood on Sunday, June 27th between the hours of 12:00 and 2:00, there is an open house hosted by me, Joe DiMeo of Genesis Realty Group.  Considering the lack of inventory in the Brooks Estate area, and practically NOTHING under $500,000, this home is sure to become a popular hangout this Sunday for buyers who have been looking for a long time but just haven't found anything worthwhile ... or affordable in this much sought-after Neighborhood in West Medford.

This beautiful colonial style 9 room, 2 full bath and 2 half bath home with a 1 car garage is listed for $459,900 and the seller is offering a closing cost credit of up to $5000!  If you or anyone else you know is looking to make this part of town their home, join us at the open house on Sunday, June 27th between 12:00 and 2:00.  I hope to see you there.

Rock-Bottom Real Estate Inventory in Brooks Estate

Where are all the FOR SALE signs in West Medford's Brooks Estate?  Well, aside from a few homes ... literally, a few, no kidding ... FOR SALE signs are nowhere to be found.  If you're the buyer with 1) a pre-approval letter in hand with 2) an interest rate of 4.875% and 3) a drive to buy NOW that parallels LeBron James' quest for an NBA title, it's nothing short of frustrating.  

Brooks Estate, the idyllic residential neighborhood in the much sought-after West Medford area is one of Medford's favorite neighborhoods where people want to live.  This area of town has a long and strong history of being a prime location to live and raise a family.  Simply stated ... people who move here, stay here.  

If you're looking to sell ... at the right price, of course ... you surely have an advantage. Classic supply and demand theory defines the marketplace, and the practically non-existent inventory of homes for sale in Brooks Estate gives the home seller an edge that defies the horror stories plaguing many other communities in the rest of Massachusetts, and our country as a whole.

No matter what happens in the world of real estate, location remains key.  Real estate is local.  You simply cannot generalize about the market.  You just can't.  The real estate market will go through its up and down cycles, but your ability to focus your efforts on making neighborhoods such as Brooks Estate your place to live will surely provide you with a decent buffer against the tidal wave of problems affecting people who don't choose their neighborhood wisely.  Good luck finding a FOR SALE sign.  If you do and it's priced right, you better be ready to pull the trigger because you won't be the only person looking at the same house.
